约翰逊的道路，奥运金牌是不同的比大多数。 In fact, even though he was the
first American man to ever win the downhill skiing event, many rejected
him as a true Olympic hero. 事实上，尽管他是美国第一人赢得过高山滑雪赛事，
多次拒绝了他作为一个真正的奥运英雄。He was a rebellious kid who came from
a troubled background, and he boasted too much. 他是个叛逆的孩子谁来从
一个陷入困境的背景，和他说太多。 Moreover, he only became involved in
skiing because a judge sent him to a ski school after he had stolen a car
at age 17. 此外，他只参与了滑雪，因为法官送他到一个滑雪学校后，他偷了一辆车在

training for his event. 那里没有终身致力于体育。他并没有体现奥运精神。他没有获

before the race began, he was claiming victory. "This course was made
for me. Nothing can stop me," he had boasted. 而即使在比赛开始的时候，他
声称胜利。 ”本课程是为我而做。没有什么可以阻止我， ”他吹嘘。He also caused some
comments when he talked about the millions of dollars he would be able
to make after he won the race. 他也引起了一些评论时，他谈到了数百万美元，他
将能够使他赢得了比赛。This made many skiers hostile toward him. That just
encouraged him even more. 这使得许多滑雪者敌视他。这只是鼓励他更加。
Then on the day of the event, he turned out the fastest. "It takes a lot of
courage to throw yourself down a mountain," Bill Johnson remarked
proudly after he won a gold medal for the United States. "Not many can
do that." 然后，在一天的活动，他原来是最快的。 ”这需要很大的勇气把自己下山， ”比尔

What do we know about love? Is it, as some people would suggest, a mysterious
force? Or can it be explained and possibly even created? Well, even in this scientific
and reason-driven age, love seems still to defy total understanding. We can,
however, know something about love and make stronger connections between
individuals.
One thing that seems to affect love is distance. The common idea is that the love
between people grows as they are separated. Sometimes it is true that longing for
someone who has gone overseas becomes more intense.
Something that nourishes love is danger. Send both lovers to dangerous places and
they will end up loving each other more. This could be caused by the worry it
develops. It could also be that feelings of uncertainty or need transform into love
with time.
Love gives us warmth, courage, and a feeling of being safe, but it also demands
selfless devotion and sacrifice. If you are truly committed to finding true love, you
should make yourself more interesting. Do things that you enjoy and try to meet
people who share identical interests.

我们知道什么是爱吗？这是因为，一些人建议，一个神秘的力量？或许可以解释，甚至可
能造成的？好的，即使在这种科学和理性的时代，爱似乎仍然不完全理解。我们可以，但
是，知道什么是爱和作出更大的个人之间的联系。
有一点似乎是爱的距离影响。普遍的看法是，人与人之间的爱成长为他们分开。有时这是
真的，渴望某人去了海外变得更加激烈。
一些滋养爱情是危险的。发送爱好者危险的地方，他们将会爱彼此。这可能是因为担心它
的发展。它也可能是感情的不确定性或需要变换成与时间的爱。
爱让我们温暖，勇气，和一个安全的感觉，但它也需要无私的奉献和牺牲。如果你是真正
致力于寻找真爱，你应该让自己更有趣。做你喜欢的事情，并努力满足人们谁分享相同的
兴趣。

Unit 6
My name, Bobby, is used both for boys and girls. Girls spell it "Bobbie". It is
characteristic for little boys to be given a name with a "y" sound at the end. For
example, I often had a Jimmy, Johnny or Billy in my classes. In my second grade, I
also had a Bobbie. In order not to confuse us when she called our names, our
teacher assigned us the names "Bobbie Girl" and "Bobby Boy". This caused me a lot
of trouble on the playground. There, my friends labeled me "Bobbie Girl". For my
friends, the apparent contrast between my name and my sex was the source of
much laughter. The fact that they labeled me as a girl was very embarrassing . I had a
tendency to compensate for my name by acting more like a boy than I might have
otherwise. I threw more rocks and yelled louder than the sum of all of the other boys
added together. The real "Bobbie Girl", conversely , acted more like a girl. When my
teacher realized she had made a mistake, she stopped calling us "Bobbie Girl" and
"Bobby Boy". Unfortunately, my friends never forgot or ceased calling me "Bobbie
Girl". Third grade was an improvement; the original "Bobbie Girl" was in a different
class. Also, I requested the teacher just call me "Bob".

I didn''t listen. 我的家人，我的老板，我的医生告诉我这会发生，但我没有听。They
said I was getting overwhelmed and focusing too much on the negative
things that happened to me. 他们说我是越来越不堪重负，重要是太多的负面的事
情发生在我。 "If you don''t learn to control how you react to bad things
that happen in your life, you are going to cause damage to your heart,"
said my doctor. ”如果你不学会控制你如何反应，糟糕的事情发生在你的生活，你会损
害你的心，说：“我的医生。"So many of the situations you complain about
are beyond your control. ”这么多的情况，你抱怨你无法控制的。 Getting
caught in them is very destructive for you physically and emotionally. 遇

work. 不幸的是，我遇到交通堵塞时，同一天下班开车回家。 This was the setting

control. 我有一定了解，生命太短暂，不要担心那些你不能控制的事情。
Unit 8
Having a lot of money is useless without a good education. Life isn''t simply about
consumption and having a good time when you''re not at work. Money will only
cause you grief unless you use it for the welfare of the world. That''s why I believe
that a good education is indispensable. A formal education with emphasis on history,
literature, and culture helps a person learn how to distinguish right from wrong.
Education that only teaches skills specific to a job can only render skills for
performing a task. It doesn''t teach you how to make important decisions. Employers
tend to demand more from their employees than the ability to perform a task. Our
world needs workers who pay constant attention to high standards for their
performance. It is evident that far too many people today are focusing on making
money and not on improving themselves. What puzzles me is why people should
ignore contributions to the good of humanity while making money. It is only rational
a person who gives to the world enjoys the benefits. After all, our civilization simply
can''t be built on the principle of making money alone.
In summary, we must educate our young people to understand and love the world
around them. This is the only way to ensure a better tomorrow.
Unit 9
Nobody has ever had to tell me to get out of bed. My number one asset has always
been that I am much more ambitious than most. The way I see it, life is too short to
make periodical concessions to comfort and fun. If you want to accomplish
something remarkable, you''ve got to stay motivated and constantly work toward
your goals. My goal has been to become a(n) journalist since I was a young boy.
When I was eight, my father said, "That field of work is too competitive for you. You
should be more realistic about your prospects and abilities."
I didn''t want to deceive myself about how hard it would be, so I started that day by
getting a job delivering newspapers. I departed from home every morning at 4:30 to
do my work before school. I was fascinated with the printing machines so I always

arrived to work early to ask questions. I wasn''t much of a scholar, so I eventually
ended up enrolling in an average university. Still, I was keen on becoming a reporter
and did not give up my dream. I wrote for the school newspaper and when I
graduated, took a job sorting mail with a local media company. I later convinced
them to give me a chance to write some simple articles. That''s how I got my start.
Unit 10
Are we fated to repeat the past because our memories are too short? Wasn''t World
War II supposed to provide a(n) resolution that would end all wars? Why are we still
fighting? As people around the world endure the agonies of war, is it possible to
even hope for a brighter tomorrow?
A recent study revealed that the quantity of wars in the world is actually decreasing.
I hardly believe this means we deserve historic praise for greater understanding of
our fellow men. While the number of traditional wars may have declined slightly,
acts of violence around the globe are on the increase.
The end of World War II left us with an opportunity rarely seen throughout history—
to start over. But, instead of seizing that opportunity and guaranteeing safety and
well-being of all peoples, rich nations took advantage of the poor. We cannot
continue with the assumption that our actions in other parts of the world are
without consequences at home. If we do so, the heroic efforts of the soldiers of
World War II will have been a waste. We will simply repeat the wars of the past.

有很多钱是无用的，没有一个好的教育。生活不是简单的消费和有一个很好的时间，当你

好的教育是必不可少的。一个正式的教育重点放在历史，文学和文化，帮助一个人学习如
何明辨是非。教育只有教技能的具体工作才能使技能执行任务。它不教你如何做重要的决

人们要忽略的贡献人类的利益而赚钱。这是唯一合理的人谁给世界享有的好处。毕竟，我
